Democrat Tarryl Clark’s campaign for Congress reports raising $505,000 in the first quarter of 2010. The campaign also reports that it raised a total of $1.1 million for her campaign. I’m checking to see how much Clark has left in the bank.

Clark, who won the DFL endorsement for Congress in Minnesota’s 6th District, will face Stillwater Physician Maureen Reed in the DFL primary. The winner will face GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann in November.
